 A searing, emotional, experimental book written from the perspectives of a series of men who were all assaulted by the same woman. I've read other books about the fallout of sexual assault and how society responds to it but this book shines a light on how much this anti-victim mentality intersects with toxic masculinity, creating an awful place for men who have suffered at the hands of women. I just feel all icky after reading this but would still recommend it to other people.
